The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Lakey Pipe.

We’ve got a solid run of swell lined up, starting Monday afternoon and rolling through the next two and a half weeks. The water is sitting at 79°, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The opening act kicks off Monday afternoon with a clean 6 ft SSW swell, period around 15 seconds. That’s a nice, long-period groundswell pushing in with moderate energy (1181). The wind is a light ESE cross-off, so the faces will be tidy. This is intermediate territory – solid enough for a good session, but not too big to handle.

Tuesday and Wednesday keep the same vibe. Swell holds around 5 ft from the SW, period staying in the 14 to 15-second range. Winds are light and cross-off from the SSE and SE, keeping things clean. Energy picks up a bit Wednesday afternoon to 1371, so there’s a bit more push. Consistent waves, no crowds mentioned yet, which is a bonus.

Now, Thursday through Saturday is where the real muscle shows. Thursday morning sees the swell jump to 7 ft, with a 7 ft on the way by afternoon. Periods stretch to 17-18 seconds, and the energy ramps up into the 2400-2600 range – that’s strong, powerful surf. The wind stays cross-off, but it’s a bit stronger at 12 mph, so it’s still clean but with a bit of a breeze. This is expert territory now. Anything over 8 ft, and you’re looking at Friday afternoon: 8 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, energy hitting 3549. That’s the standout of the whole run. Clean, powerful, and a proper challenge for the experienced crew.

Saturday stays big, around 8-8 ft, with light SSE winds again. Sunday drops a little to 7-7 ft, still clean, still fun. The following Monday and Tuesday, 10th and 11th of August, are absolute crackers. Monday afternoon sees a 8 ft SSW swell at 18 seconds, energy at 3887 – that’s the biggest energy reading of the whole period. Tuesday morning keeps it up with 8 ft at 16 seconds. Light winds, excellent conditions. This is the real highlight.

The second week settles a bit. From the 12th onward, we’re looking at 5 ft to 7 ft SW swells, periods around 14-17 seconds. Winds stay light and cross-off most of the time. Energy drops back to the 1100-2200 range, so it’s still good, just not as pumping. The 14th of August Friday morning has a nice 7 ft, 17-second swell with light winds – worth a paddle. The 17th and 18th keep the 6-6 ft SW swell going, still clean, still consistent.

The only small hiccup is the 11th afternoon and the 16th, where the wind goes a little cross-shore, maybe a bit of texture on the surface. But honestly, for a reef break like Lakey Pipe, that’s rarely a dealbreaker.

Overall, this is a fantastic run. The standout is Friday the 7th afternoon and Monday the 10th afternoon through Tuesday the 11th morning – that’s the big, clean, powerful stuff. Get on it.

Rusty.

Information about the Lakey Pipe Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Lakey Pipe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lakey Pipe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lakey Pipe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lakey Pipe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lakey Pipe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
